After the horrifying events of September 11, 2001, all Americans were united in our support for this president. He promised us that he would bring Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda to justice. But now, more than three years, more than $200 billion, and more than a thousand American lives later, Osama Bin Laden, a man whose name the president seems to have forgotten, is still at large, a free man, inspiring attacks that have killed commuters on a subway in Spain, slaughtered vacationers at a bar in Indonesia, and murdered American soldiers and innocent civilians at checkpoints, police stations, and markets in Iraq. At a time when Al Qaeda should be on the run, Osama bin Laden’s followers are not intimidated, but emboldened, plotting even more cruel and gruesome ways to kill and terrorize Americans here at home – and around the world. They are not dwindling, but growing in number.
